Our special Christmas dinner was a VERY unpleasant experience. We were seated in an extremely small, crowded room, where the noise level became overwhelming. The food was good, but nothing special. The service was absolutely the WORST I have experienced. The waiter seemed to take great pride in being as RUDE as he possibly could be, both in the way... more

Been a number of times over the years. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes not. Wait staff is half pros, the rest do this when the gravel pit is laying off. Beautiful location and interior, but the management is completely at fault - no consistency, seems to be 'just a paycheck' approach. Fix it before this wonderful chance becomes the... more

The main thing I remember about this restaurant. My husband and I split a salad comprised of some mixed greens, a bit of pear, stilton and walnuts, and it cost $9.50. It was the size of a side salad where I live. I almost looked at the waiter and said "You're kidding, right?" They say locals frequent here. I guess... more

Just got back from Napa and have been to this restaurant about 5 times..each time, I have had a different opinion...when we walked in (we were about 10 min early) the hostess looked at her watch immediately and said you can go to the bar..which we did...the bartender was not very friendly at all..... :( Since I work in the... more

I say unexpected because it's right off the freeway but you'd never know it once you get there. Lovely garden area and terrace. I didn't love the look of the inside of the restaurant but adored the outside seating areas. Great, friendly service, strong if not great food and just a nice time overall. more

This is a wonderful, gorgeous, comfortable restaurant where the locals get together. Not only is the food exquisite, the ambience is lovely and the service is top drawer. Enjoy the lush views, delicious food, and interesting local chatter going on around you. Very romantic but also comfortable for a family. Yes, I love Bistro Don Giovanni! more

Service was very unproffesional. I would never return! more

We had a beautiful lunch here on our first day in Napa, seated in a flower-studded garden terrace overlooking a lush vineyard on an equisitely perfect day, with crisp white table linens, impeccable international-style service, and amazing cuisine...I felt like a movie star! Everything was SO fresh and amazing...I especially loved the fried olives and almonds and the salmon chowder... more

We stopped at Don Giovanni for lunch at the recommendation of a local merchant. We dined outside on a lovely patio. Even though it's just off the main highway, it's shielded from the noise quite well. The service was outstanding and they had a diverse menu. The Spaghetti de la mere was among the best renditions of that dish I've... more
